The Montrose Search and Rescue Team searched late Sunday night for four hikers who were stranded during a routine climb on Strawberry Peak Trail in Angeles National Forest, officials announced.
One of the hikers called the from his cell phone and said no one was injured but the group had no supplies and the weather was turning cold, according to Sheriff's Lt. Elisabeth Sachs of the Crescenta Valley Station.
The hikers could no longer be reached by phone when local rescue specialists found them about 10:30 p.m., Sachs said.
Helicopters from the Los Angeles County Fire Department were requested and hoisted the hikers to safety, she said.
